Why is the air cooler near the ocean than it is away from the ocean?

Because water heats slower. So if you were on land it would heat up alot faster than if you were swimming in the ocean.Because water heats slower. So if you were on land it would heat up alot faster than if you were swimming in the ocean.


Why is the antarctic warming faster?

There are several reasons why the Arctic is warming faster than the Antarctic, in fact, faster than the rest of the world:The albedo feedback. White snow and ice reflect the heat, so when they melt, the darker surfaces below absorb more heat.The ocean is never colder than -2°C and when the sea ice melts warmth moves from the ocean into the atmosphere.Global warming is likely to change the circulation patterns in the atmosphere and the oceans, causing more heat to be transferred to the Arctic.The Antarctic is much colder than the Arctic. The coldest temperature in Antarctica is about -80°C, compared to -50°C in the Arctic. So the Arctic warms more easily than the Antarctic.

Why is the surface temperature of the oceans more variable than the water near the ocean floor?

In order for temperature to change the involved heat has to have some place to go. The water at the bottom of the ocean is surrounded by ground and other water that are already at the same temperature. Where can extra heat go to? At the surface the air transports heat up and away so ocean heat can leak out (or in) to the water.
